WASHINGTON, Jan. 24.If the President
would only nave the consideration to
wait until March 4, before filling the
places on the Interstate commerce
commission there would be q
chance for the defeated members
to secure appointments, and since
the law is not to 20 into effect for sixty
days from the time that it shall be sigued,
it IS, Ct course, not necessary that the
commissioners shall bel appointed before
March 4. :, federal office holder, how
ever, who is On good terms at the White
House, says:
at is the intention OF the President to
have the commission complete and all the
members OF ii confirmed before the expir
alton Of the present Congress. The
President does not wish to have
the board of commissioners enter upon
so important work without con-
firmation, and there does not seem to be
at present an exigency which would
make it necessary TO convene the
Senate In executive session, much less
the Ffthieth Congress in extra SEES
sion; consequently, if the commission
ers shall not be confirmed before
March 1, they cannot in the ordinary
course OF things be confirmed until De-
Cembsr; so the C4ngressmen who ere not
reelected will be barred out if the Presi-
dent shall adhere to this determination"

The reports of the Civil Service commits
sion relative to the goings on in the Chicago
custom house have not yet been made pub
lie, but enough of their contents have leaked
out to show that they will make entertain
ing reading and disclose very serious differ
ence of opinion among the commissioners.
Commissioners Lyman and Oberly sign
one report, and Commissioner Edgerton
another made by himself. 1t is understood
that both reports agree in finding the spe-
cific charges against the Chicago custom
house not proven, but their general treat
ment of the subject Of civil service reform is
very different. Edgerton, it is understood,
assaults the local civil service reform asso-
Citations with good deal Of vigOr, charging
them with being busy-bodies and meddling
with matters that are none of their business.
Lyman and Oberly, on the other hand, de-
fend these associations and credit them
with contributing greatly to the progress of
the reform. Edgerton apparently takes
much the same view of civil service re-
formers as the Hon. Eugene Higgins, and
though he is serving on commission created
by the civil service law, that fact does not
deter him from belittling the reform and its
apostles. He apparently is in perfect SYM
patty with the great majority Of his party in
wanting civil service law that will not in
terfere seriously with the supplanting of Re-
publicans by Democrats, and commissioners
who will not bother themselves to do much
Of anything but draw their salaries.

The Glenn Bill.

The Democrats of Georgia are hesitating
about taking the final steps which shall make
the notorious Glenn bill" a law. and impose
service in the chain gang as penalty on any
teacher who should teach white and black
children In the same school. II the bill is
defeated, this fortunate result may be attrib-
uted almost entirely to the pressure of pub
lie opinion in the North. The Southern leg
islators have received urgent requests from
Northern Democrats not to let the measure
become law. The word has gone from
Washington that the administration is desir-
GUS of having the proposed legislation sup
pressed, and some of the Oldest and longest
headed politicians in Georgia are at work to
induce the supporters Of the bill to drop it.
There has also been received in Atlanta
letter from prominent Georgian who is
spending his summerin New England. lie

Judge Potter found three errors in the trial
of Jacob Sharp. The first was the admis-
sion of Sharp's testimony before the Senate
investigating committee. This Judge Potter
declares was wrong on the principle that no
person can be compelled to crimnate him.
self The second was the allowing the State
to explain the non-production of witnesses
by showing that they had fed to Canada
The third was the allowing of witness to
express his opinion of the significance of a
certain act of Sharps. Either of these err
rors Judge Potter considers fatal. OF course
his decision is not final. The effect OF it is
only to keep Sharp out of prison until the
case can be heard by the Court of Appeals. If
the court decides that Judge Barrett admit
ted evidence which ought to have been ex-
cluded then Sharpswill get new trial; other
wise he will 60 to prison under his present
sentence. Judge Potter's decision raises no
doubt Of the moral justice of the jury's YER
dict, and will not change in the slightest de-
gree the popular belief that the verdict was
the correct one. 1t gives the prisoner the
benefit Of some delay, which he can perhaps
as proftably employ in dying as in any other
way.

Mr.. Balfour's reply to Mr.. Gladtsone's
arraignment of the government in the House
of Commons on Thursday night was a very
weak performance. Called upon to show
why it was necessary to proclaim the Ma
tional League, he read from certain docu-
ments which he described as partly confiden-
tial and partly official, and then refused to
allow the House to examine those docu-
ments. Such parts of them as served his
purpose he used and the rest he suppressed.
1t is difficult to conceive more unfair per-
Torrance than this. The House had been
asked to give its sanction to an act that
could only be justified on the ground of
great public exigency, and when it request
ed the evidence that showed the existence Of
this exigency its request was refused. The
refusal, however, practically amounts to a
confession that the evidence would not bear
inspection, and having brought out this fact
tine Gladstonians and Parnellites will proba-
bly, rest content as far as the House of Com
mons is concerned. They win rely upon the
country to right the wrong.

OUR LITTLE GRANDCHILD.
Cleansed, Purified, and Beautified by
the Cuticura Remedies.

1t affords me pleasure to give you this report of
the cure of our little grandchld by your CuTIoU,
began to swell and had every appearance of a
large boil. We poultced it, but all TO no purpose.
About five mouths after it became running sore.
Soon other sores formed. He then had two of
them ON each hand, and as his blood became more
and more impure 1t took less time for them to
break out. A sore came on the chin, beneath the
under lip, which was very offensive. His head was
one solid scab, dischargng great deal. This was
his condition at twenty-five months old, when /
undertook the care of him, his mother having died
when he was little more than year old, OF con-
sumption (scrofula of course). He could walk a
little, but could not get up If he fell down, and
could not move when in bed, having no use of his
hands. Immediately commenced with the CUTI-
CURA REMEDIES, using the CUTICURA and CUTI-
CURA SOAP freely, and when he had taken one
bottle OF the CUTICURA REsoLvENT, his head was
completely cured and he was improved in every
way. We were very much encouraged, and con-
tinued the use of the Remedies for year and a
half. One sore after another healed, a bony mat
ter forming in each one of these five deep ones
just before healing which would finally grow loose
and were taken out; then they would heal rapidly.
One of these ugly bone formations i preserved.
After taking dozen and half bottles he was
completely cured, and is now, at the age of SIX
years strong and healthy child. The scars on
his hands must always remain his hands are
strong, though we once feared he would never he
able TO use them. All that physicians did for him
did him no good. All who saw the child before
using the CUTICURA REMEDIES and see the child
now consider it a wonderful cure. If the above
facts are OF any use to you you are at liberty to
use them. MRS. i. S. BRIGGS,

The natural aversion of the Democratic
mind to surplus, unless it is surplus of
empty offices, is illustrated in Indiana, where
they have used up surplus of half mill
lion dollars left in the State treasury by the
Republicans and increased the State debt
about four million dollars besides. Though
the seventh wealthlest State in the Union
Indiana has not to-day dollar in her State
treasury that can be used for carrying on the
government; and no legislature meets, unless
in special extra session, until 1889.

The New York Evening Post finds the con-
duct of the President in regard to the Mary
land offices little too much even for its in
geRuity to palliate or excuse. 1t declares
that sit is an anomaly, as inexplicable as it
is discreditable, that the cause of honest
government in Maryland not only receives
no help from the President, but encounters
practically his opposition, through his sup
port of the Democratic faction which repre-
sents ring rule, corruption and fraud" But
this "inexplicable anomaly" is quite satisfac-
torily explained by the New York World,
which declares in substance that it is only
in States where the civil service reformers
are numerous enough to ''bust things" that
the President makes much account of the
reform sentiment. Maryland is not one of
those States. On the contrary any trucking to
thecivil service reformers of that State would
array the German crowd against the Presi-
dent, and that might deprive him of Mary
lands vote in the next National Democratic
convention.

Senator German tells reporter that the
proceedings of the Baltimore Independents
have not frightened him. Ordinarily Mary
land is good for from $4,000 to $4,000 Demo-
cratic majority, and he does not think it
will be cut down much this fall. Germans
tactics have been so long successful that he
apparently has come to believe that they are
invincible. But other bosses have believed
themselves as secure as German, and yet
have walked up to find themselves shorn of
their power and authority. No boss, how
ever powerful, can continue year after year
to outrage honesty and decency, without
getting found out. And when the majority
of the decent people find him out he is GER
tain to go. German may get through this
campaign, but his doom will only be delayed

The character of Stonewall jackson Is at
last getting an overhauling. and that, too, by
Southerners. 1t seems that he was the first
OF the Confederate generals and the most
persistent to advocate the putting to death
of every prisoner of war. This is stated in
the life of Stonewall jackson, by Rev. DIR,
Dabney. 1t would be pity to lose saint
from the calendar but such atrOcity is worse
than the worst that was ever averred against
Butler, for which he was dubbed beast. !"
But there is this difference: jackson was
guilty, Butter was not. 1t is not so much
that jackson was on the wrong side and a
rebel that the revelation of his character
is to be regretted, but the rebellion devel-
oped on the same side measure of atrocity
that, occurring at this late era, does not
speak well for civilization. History will new
er be able to forget Andersonville till the
end Of time. JacksOn's prayers had for a
time been happy relief to the sombre hue
of the rebellion. His religion can hereafter
count for what it was worth-no better than
a decent mans profanity.

HORRIBLE CRIME IN MExIco.-A dis
patch from the City of Mexico gives an &C.
count of a horrible affair committed in the
little city Of Patzcuoro last Wedn esday
night. The wife of Juan Ramierez was the
Acknowledged belle OF the town, and great
favorite. Three policemen enteredirto q plo5
to outrage her, and on the night mentioned
they went to Remierez's house, which was
in the suburbs, entered his bed room ana
fajrlv bulchered him with knives, iphicting
twenty wounds upon his body. Spouting
blood deluged the wife MS she lay by the
side of her husband, AMI she faiuted. After
Ramierez was dead, they restored the vile
to consciousness. and then carried out tne'r
hellish plot, leaving the poor woman almost
dead. The men fed 10 the interior on
horseback, but two OF them have been cap
tured, and the third will he, IS the whole
country was aroused, and intense excite
